Master Bath Guest (Running Crab Spider--Species-Philodromus praelustris) - Philodromus praelustris - Male
Saint Albans, Kanawha County, West Virginia, USA
February 6, 2006
Size: Body-5/16in.Legs-1&1/2in.
I have managed to get some crude measurements of this spider. The body is close to 5/16 of an inch, while the 2nd. pair of legs are about 3/4 of an inch long each. This gives a maximum span for its out stretched legs of about 1&1/2 inches.
